Oh well,I guess it is back to the drawing board
Unfortuneately, that is the same diagram I got from Johnson.
I tried it again and no luck.

Is there anything regarding my internet ports(80) that has to be changed?
And judging from the other post, is this another one of those JCI fantasy services that are offered their FX controllers.

The FX-16 literature states that you can connect it to a modem,
and to dial into it and have it dial out.
We latter found out from JCI that this was not really an option,although
they were researching it.

I am also trying to Serial Tunnel with a second PC using only
Internet Explorer , no Workbench, and no Serial Tunnel client is installed.
The PC does have N2CommPro installed ,and is able to connect perfectly.

Serial Tunnel N2

I have been successful with serial tunneling through the FX 20,40,60 and use it from time to time to download program changes. I did find out early on that port 9973 has to be open through the site router and firewall. I now have my customer's IT people open 3011, 1911, 80 and 9973 on every project. You also must enter the site IP address and an unused com port on your PC in the serial tunnel set-up from the control panel. I use Com 5. To connect with Comm Pro N2 Open, first log into your supervisor and disabe the N2 bus from the N2 Network property sheet. Open Comm Pro and connect, I choose Com 5 in the connection window. Once connected, cancel the scan window and change the connection settings to med or long timeout. Johnson says long but I find that on some sites, med also works well. Then scan for the address of the controller you want to work with and proceed as usual.

I will say that with my Dell laptop, the connection seems unstable at time. I go from working on a connection all day without a problem and others as soon as I connect and do something, I get the Blue Screen of Death and have to power off to restart. I would not recommend this for critical controllers!! I had this happen during a FX16 download an wiped out the FX16. Johnson claims to have not experienced this.
